i have a 3 Dag Members of exchange 2010.the 2 are in a cluster of hyper v windows server 2008 R2 and the other member is on the esx.

the active database is at the ESX.

i will move migrate the whole infrastructure to 2 new ESX hosts.

i will have only 1 exchange server.i will restore it through veeam to the new esx.

i would like to know what are the steps of removing the DAG members.Also the DC will migrate to a windows 2012 and i will use the same ip as before.i have already 3 DCs and i will migrate the FSMO first at the other and then i will demote the first.

In exchange should i change something because of the FSMO trasfer?all members are GC.

i dont want to make a new installation from exchange.i have also a public folder DB. what is the procedure to transfer to the exchange?maybe cretae a path at the exchange make a replication and then stop that and make a veeam backup and then restore?is that correct?

when i demote the DC should i do also something at exchange?or the users should not be in outlook?

i want to restore it through veeam at the new esx but first i have to take down the dag.

i have installed vcenter 5.5 at the new cluster.,the old one cluster is at 5 version.i must remove the old one there is also a view instance and i will install everthing from start.

it is a very small infrastructure with only 6 vewclients and some vms for monitoring.a fileserver and exchange.HA i have for exchange because of the cluster from esx.i dont want to be complicated.for disaster rcovery i can recover everything from veeam.do you find that good generally?
